Get to Know Me

I was asked once why people should relate to me. What do I have that my readers can relate to. I thought about it, and I realized I am one of my readers. The things we share at AYD and the business opportunities we offer are part of self realization and if I can make that path for someone else, a little easier to follow or discover, then that is what I want to do. People that come to AYD will find that I am no different than they are. Just trying to enhance my life in all aspects so that I, and we, can focus on truly living fulfilled and experiencing all we should be, without the clutter we so easily put in front of our dreams, desires and ability to see all the wonder that is waiting to be experienced.
My name is Pierre Couturier, and I want to live life to the fullest appreciation.

"He who has a why to live can bear almost any how."- Fredrich Nietzsche

Another way of bringing to light, passion and purpose. Seeing what we desire, and plotting a course to it even if that must go right through or past adversity. Harness the energy that comes from Why your goals mean so much to you.

I have a Why. I have numerous 'Why's' to drive me on. One of them, is that in my life I can identify what a gift it is to know my - Why.

Who are you?What do you want?Why is that meaningful?And then how can you get it?

Are you preplanning your obstacles and taking the wind out of your sails before the journey has even begun?Focus on the Why instead, and Build your Passion reserves for the moments that attack and try to drain you of the energy that fuels your dream vessel.

Remind yourself in the hardest moments Why you must press on. Be it in your routine today, or be it on the uncharted path to your dreams, Do not lose sight of - Why - and it will always feel within your reach.

"If you look at what you have in life, you'll always have more. If you look at what you don't have in life, you'll never have enough."- Oprah Winfrey

For me now, I never get tired of looking around me, and taking a moment to acknowledge all that I have in my life. I am truly thankful for all that I have and as well, for the ability to feel the appreciation of it all.

In appreciating what we have, we embrace gratitude and we display that gratitude. It helps us understand the value of all that we presently hold in our lives.

Thus, things or accomplishments that I desire to reach, do not depress me or control me in their present absense, rather they motivate me to grow and then achieve that desire - using the gratitude I have learned for what I have filled my life with so far.

This plays a role as well in your movie that we discussed yesterday. While you watch your dreams act out the scenes of this movie, be conscious of all that you have in your life now and where that fits into your script. It is fine to dream of cars and nice homes, but I am certain they will shine more and be more comfortable when you include in the idea the value of what achieving that means to you as well.

What we wish to add to our life can be achieved, if we focus first on embracing that which we have already succeeded in becoming.

I read something recently that got me thinking a bit. There was a piece in this E-book, The Greatest Networker, that was seemingly familiar, yet not a pointed action in my day until I read about doing it.

Part of being a success and achieving your dreams as we know, is visualizing. That was the familiar part. As well, feeling now how you will feel upon reaching that goal will also assist your road being smoother on the actual journey there. When I thought about it, the part that I read really can be summarized as daydreaming, but with a focus on consistancy and growing the desire to see it become true from the belief that seeded it.

What I am getting at is playing a movie in your mind. The movie, is the life you want to live. The life as you know in your hopes, wishes, desires, goals and dreams. So, for part one of this exercise, I am simply going to ask you to reward yourself with a few minutes this morning, to play a movie.

Close your eyes and picture your life as you want it. How do you see it ? What does your happiness look like?

Where are you living?What does your home look like?What are you driving or is someone driving you?Your family, what do you see?What do you do for a living?What have you become?Are you travelling?What do you do for entertainment in your movie - your life?

Answer any and all of your own questions and desires. Put it all in the script - create the angles and the shots - the scenes and the dreams. This is your life, as you so desire it. There is only one thing to consider ...

Are you willing to allow this to come to existance? Are you willing to focus on it, believe in it, find a path that you can follow truthfully to your own heart with an honest foot forward and a reach that knows it will touch that which you create in the movie of your happiness?

We want, but do we really? We want but do we reach into our belief to then find the support to attach the "I Will" to that 'want' ?

Okay...before I start going too deep - today's exercise is to just watch a movie. There is no right or wrong. There is no "You can't do that" rating. There is no 'silly', no 'too much', and definately not any "I couldn't" in this activity. It is a movie in your mind of an award winning script of your happiness. Let it play without commercials advertising Doubt.

You wrote it, you star in it - the idea is to then direct and produce it.

Today, watch a movie. And then, rewind it, and watch it again.Make it believable to you, because if you do this and believe it is yours to have, one day you could be looking at a photo album filled with snap shots, or home video showing scenes from exactly what you see - in your favorite movie today.

"There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it."- Edith Wharton

Opportunity Monday, and a fresh start. Consider all you have learned in your travels and on your journey to reach your dreams. Consider what you have discovered about yourself and your inner message.

I am sure you will discover, you have a chance to be both Candle and Mirror and to share the light of all you have discovered, with those who may still be fearful of steps they wish to take while still working in the dark.
